Figure 5

Comparison of physiological parameters associated with the virulence degree in B . cinerea CCg378 (co-infected strain), B . cinerea CKg54 (virus-free strain) and B . cinerea CKg54vi378 (clone infected with the 32-nm virus only). (A) Spores production, average of five experiments. (B) Laccase activity quantitation, average of five experiments. (C) Comparison of the virulence degree of B. cinerea CKg54, B. cinerea CCg378 and B. cinerea CKg54vi378. The fungal strains were inoculated in the center of grapevine leaves. The brown zone on the leaf corresponds to the lesion caused by the fungus. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test, ** represents significant differences at p <0.01, and *** represents significant differences at p <0.001.
